“What’s that supposed to mean?” Penny asks.

“During the American Revolution, a colonial patriot from Bossston named Paul Revere helped ssstart an intelligence and alarm sssyssstem to keep watch on the Britisssh Army,” Smithers says. “On the night of hisss hissstoric ride, Revere was tasssked to ride to Lexington, Massachussets, with the newsss that the Britisssh were coming. He usssed lanternsss to relay the newsss to his fellow patriotsss. One lantern meant the Britisssh were arriving by land—”

“And two meant by sea,” Gunner finishes.

“But what does that mean for us?” Penny asks.

“You see that boat across the river? We’re going to commandeer it and hit the open seas back to DC,” I say.

“I’m sick of boats. Big or little! We just got off the sea,” Brick hollers.

“Pawtriots, before we get cornered by a battalion of Welsh corgis, let’s get our paws wet and make our way to that boat,” I say, jumping into the Charles River.

The cold water that surrounds me immediately shocks me. I look across the water and worry that maybe this plan was a bit ill-advised. It’s a long way away to the other bank, and the water is choppy. Still, I’m on a mission and have a code to live by—the Soldier’s Creed. I will never quit, I remind myself as I begin swimming.

The rest of the Pawtriots jump into the river and follow my lead.
